Selfie Sticks banned at music festival!

Bad news for those planning to use selfie sticks at Soundwave this weekend – you’ve been told to leave them at home or else they’ll be confiscated.

Promoter AJ Maddah vented on Twitter this week, urging selfie stick users to have some consideration for those behind them trying to enjoy the show.

AJ Maddah added that selfie sticks are the “ultimate expression of narcissism”, using the example of a girl he witnessed using a selfie stick to take a picture of herself WHILE a band was playing. He noted that this was somewhat different to someone trying to take a photo of the band!

It’s reported that there will be no tolerance at the Sydney and Brisbane Soundwave shows this weekend,with all selfie sticks cloaked, along with items such as iPads.

Soundwave is an annual music festival. This year it is headlined by bands such as Faith no More, Soundgarden, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot and the Smashing Pumpkins.
